Within Abruzzo lie some of Italy’s most beautiful, ancient hill towns rivaling those of Tuscany and Umbria.

The awards for these villages are determined by aesthetic beauty but also for historical importance, art and culture and livability. These villages are definitely worth exploring while on your Abruzzo holidays.

What’s more, Abruzzo is known as the “Green Region of Europe” and also referred to as “Italy’s Garden” as it offers Europe’s most visually beautiful extensive park systems: Parco Nazionale della Majella; Parco Nazionale d’Abruzzo; Parco Nazionale del Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga; Pietracamela, Italia and Parco Naturale Regionale Sirente Velino. Its tallest mountain, Corno Grande, majestically rises 2912 meters above sea level. The reserves are very accessible from Pescara and famous in Italy and worldwide; as a model for nature conservation and environmental safeguard. Spending your vacation in Abruzzo, Italy may include winter skiing, horse riding, trekking, cycling, canoeing, paragliding, bird watching and long warm days in the spring and the autumn to walk around the hills and the lakes are some of the main activities.

There are few places that can offer both mountains and sea within a short drive and with the Adriatic Coastline hugging Pescara, it offers you just that – where you can enjoy a swim and unwind in one of the many beach cafés. There are both private and public beaches – all with their own unique personality and character. Abruzzo is amongst one of the regions that boast some of the highest number of “Bandiere Blu Spiaggie” (Blue Flag beaches) in all of Italy, which mean that the beaches are competing to maintain a very high standard and an environmentally sound coastline.
